Why are buttery spreads a sensible alternative to butter?
Buttery spreads are a wise alternative for consumers who want a versatile tablespread that offers nutritional advantages over butter. These spreads contain no cholesterol and 0-2 grams of saturated fat (compared to the 7 grams found in butter), and most varieties today are labeled “zero grams trans fat.” Not only are buttery spreads a good source of vitamin A, they contain mono- and poly-unsaturated fats as well as essential fatty acids.
